illuminates. This will happen every 6 months.
If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.
Failure to replace the disposable filter at recommended intervals may lead to reduced
filter performance and failure of the filter, causing property damage from water
leakage or flooding.
In cases of excessively reduced filter life — we recommend that you consult a local
plumber or your water supplier for advice on suitable filtration requirements for the
water supplied to your home.
Filter replacement is the consumer’s responsibility and will not be covered by the
warranty except in the case of faulty parts or materials within the filter cartridge.
If the water has not created ice for some time or ice has an unpleasant taste or odor
dispose of ice and refer to ‘Automatic ice’ for flushing instructions. If unpleasant taste
or odor persists, you may wish to fit a new filter cartridge.
Use new tubing supplied with the refrigerator. DO NOT reuse old tubing from old
water and ice connections.
Your water filtration system can withstand up to 120psi (827kPa) of water pressure.
Ensure the supplied pressure reducing valve is installed before installing the water
